It doesn't work. My next door neighbor has had an electric fence in his backyard for 4 years, and year-round, at least once a month, he's out there re-stringing it because a herd fucking runs through it instead of attempting to jump.
The herd stands in the backyard for hours, until one of them is dumb enough to stumble into it, at which point they freak out, and they tangle themselves and tear it down. They're not deterred, at all. They'll gladly nose around underneath it and try to crawl under.

Yup. We did asparagus for a couple years until we just took it out and stopped. For as much as we eat, we'd need to devote more space for it, and it wasn't worth the effort.

It's cool, we're allowed to go slumming every now and then. We get vouchers in our monthly newletter.

Is there a prize for winning this contest? Because Allegheny County doesn't care.

I'll do it. I've read more than one pamphlet on virtualization before, so I think I'm qualified.

Set up a tolling scheme for the ducks that use the rivers to go around the island. Their freeloading needs to end.

It's not a secret hookup or anything, it's just a chain grocery store for primarily Indian/East Asian food/culture. The stuff you pay exorbitant prices for at GE are cheap there.
Don't go hungry.

If you can easily get to Patel Bros., there's no reason to buy spices elsewhere.

"Incel" is short for "involuntarily celibate." There's no distinction for gender.
It's basically "It's YOUR problem you don't want Cheeto dust all over your tits and Top Ramen for dinner, Mother says I'm a catch."

No responsible gun owner "forgets" where two firearms are, sorry. It's the antithesis of "being responsible."

From which "non chain" places have you bought soft serve before?

I remember crafting a waterproof sleeve out of these bags for the summer that I had a broken arm. Used it whenever I took a shower. Totally looked like a clown arm but it worked and I'd eat that bread again right now if someone gave me a loaf.

Clearly, everyone who's downvoted has never checked someone's LinkedIn profile before interviewing them.

Since you're simply parroting the same bullshit that my octogenarian mother-in-law hears down at the church every weekend, without understanding any of it, I'm gonna bid you a good day and wish you luck in your battle with reality.
If nonsense superlatives, "Sheetz" and backhanded comments about trans people were nickels, you'd be rich.

I doubt it. I think that was Del's, and Kitchen Nightmares did one but it was for the soul food place.

It's about as classic diner as I can find near me, and that's what I want. Nice big pancakes, good bottomless coffee, eggs done just right. It's not fancy and doesn't try to be, but it's definitely a regular spot for a lot of people.

I hope that no one you know ever has a stroke, but if they do, I sure hope you don't neglect to use that charming nickname for them.

If you've got a sump running 24/7, you need to investigate that. Even if the water is being removed, that kind of flow is NOT good. The sump should only be used for keeping shit dry, not "every time it rains" and certainly not all winter long.

Imagine the vindication for everyone who wisely ignored the "hurr durr pittsburgh is too cloudy" idiocy and got their solar panels installed before everything went to shit.
Those sub-$25 bills are nice, and it's also cool to not have to care (as much) about rate hikes.

Reply to Moving from Dallas? by [deleted]
Generally speaking, gated communities aren't a thing in the Pittsburgh area. There are planned communities, sure, but not like what you're used to in Texas. Our open land isn't flat, and we have forest everywhere.
Geographically, Dallas might as well be on the moon compared to Pittsburgh.

Yes. Two rows, differing heights, and they really appreciated the foil strips we hung from the wires, because it let them know just where to repeatedly smell and receive current in the face. Since our backyards are connected, this has been something we've spent time working on, together.
Suburban deer don't care about your fences and deterrents. They've got every night to figure out how to get around it. They're not deer from out in the country who get easily discouraged.
